Object detection is a well-known problem in computer vision. Despite this,
its usage and pervasiveness in the traditional Indian food dishes has been
limited. Particularly, recognizing Indian food dishes present in a single photo
is challenging due to three reasons: 1. Lack of annotated Indian food datasets
2. Non-distinct boundaries between the dishes 3. High intra-class variation. We
solve these issues by providing a comprehensively labelled Indian food dataset-
IndianFood10, which contains 10 food classes that appear frequently in a staple
Indian meal and using transfer learning with YOLOv4 object detector model. Our
model is able to achieve an overall mAP score of 91.8% and f1-score of 0.90 for
our 10 class dataset. We also provide an extension of our 10 class dataset-
IndianFood20, which contains 10 more traditional Indian food classes.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures, 38th IEEE International Conference on Data
